Soy Butter Glazed King Oyster Mushrooms
Description
King oyster mushrooms are sliced lengthwise into 1/4-inch thick pieces and pan-fried in vegetable oil in batches to get a golden-brown crust without steaming. The glaze combines melted butter with light and dark soy sauces, honey for sweetness, freshly grated garlic, and black pepper for gentle heat. After frying all the mushrooms, they are returned to the pan off heat and tossed thoroughly in the glaze using residual pan warmth to coat evenly.
This preparation highlights the dense, meaty quality of king oyster mushrooms, enhanced by the rich, slightly sweet, and umami-rich sauce. The garnish of chopped scallions adds a fresh, mild onion note and a pop of color. The cooking method and glazing provide a luscious texture that clings to the mushrooms without overwhelming them.
Serve these glazed mushrooms warm as a side for rice or noodles, or as a vegetarian dish to complement other mains.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce light
- 1/4 teaspoon dark soy sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon honey
- 1 clove garlic (grated or very finely minced)
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 pound king oyster mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 scallion
Instructions
- First, prepare the glaze by melting 2 tablespoons of butter in the microwave. Then stir in the light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, honey, grated garlic, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.
- Carefully slice the mushrooms lengthwise into ¼” thick slices.
- Heat a non-stick or cast iron pan over medium high heat, and generously brush with vegetable oil. Add the first batch mushrooms in 1 layer, leaving them a little space to breathe so the mushrooms fry rather than steam.
- Pan-fry for about 5 minutes per side, until golden brown. Repeat for another 2 batches to cook the rest of the mushrooms.
- Add all the cooked mushrooms back to the pan, pour in the glaze, and immediately turn off the heat. Toss the mushrooms in the glaze using the residual heat of the pan. Garnish with chopped scallions and serve.
